Question

line m has a slope of \\(\frac{-9}{7}\\). line n is parallel to line m. what is the slope of line n? simplify your answer and write it as a proper fraction, improper fraction, or integer.

Explanation:

Step1: Recall parallel lines slope rule

Parallel lines have equal slopes.

Step2: Apply the rule to line m and n

Line m has slope $\frac{-9}{7}$, so line n (parallel to m) has the same slope.

Answer:

$\frac{-9}{7}$
